MY TURN: Who should we blame, Democrats?
Marvin Miller paints a grim picture in a LTE on July 3. He says the "more perfect union" in our Constitution is "Humbug."
"Immigrants are coming across our border, babies are being murdered, young people mutilated, boys doing girls' sports, we're sabotaging Israel, adding trillions to our debt, filth in our libraries, millions living paycheck to paycheck, sky-high inflation, failed foreign policies, rampant crime, schools teaching our kids to hate each other, woke military. You'd swear he was in some communist or authoritarian country with no laws or justice system. If these things were all true, he would be. But they aren't true. He's exaggerating and posing half-truths and lies. He wants to blame Democrats because he thinks they have some hidden power of control. Hey, Congress still has two parties, two legislative vehicles to balance things. They don't always work so well, but it's the way it was set up. You don't hear farmers or storeowners, hotels complaining about immigrants. Most people coming across the border are looking for jobs. In spite of the "problem" we talk about, there still is a tremendous abundance of signs: "Help wanted" or "Now Hiring." It would appear we NEED the immigrants. As for those living "paycheck to paycheck," my family and I did that for many years, starting out from "raw recruit" working up to "seasoned performer," in our jobs.
